Thank you to Sydney Calander and Maya Bernstein for their extraordinary assistance in compiling this guide Welcome to BimBam’s Complete Torah Guide for Educators! In an ancient Jewish custom, new students of Torah receive a slate covered with Hebrew words and spread with honey. Teachers encouraged these children to lick the honey from each letter and experiencing the Torah’s sweetness. BimBam is a new kind of honey. We keep the Torah central in our vision and create these videos to get students engaged. What’s in this Guide We’ve created a lesson guide for each video in BimBam: The Torah and each follows the same format. We offer an overall impact statement for each BimBam, a set of learning objectives, a summary of the parsha upon which the cartoon is based, comprehension questions, prompts for discussion and active learning ideas.

  • Jews and Jewishness in British Children's Literature Madelyn J. Travis
    Almost English: Jews and Jewishness in British Children’s Literature Madelyn J. Travis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Newcastle University 2011 Abstract This thesis examines constructions of Jews and Jewishness in British children’s literature from the eighteenth century to the present. It demonstrates that this literature has often sought to determine the place of Jews in Britain, and that this endeavour is linked to attempts to define the English sense of self. This discourse is often politicised, with representations influenced as much by current events and political movements as by educational objectives. The main focus of the thesis is on works published from World War II through 2010, with Chapter One providing a historical context for the later material and offering an overview of key motifs from the eighteenth century to World War II. Works by authors such as Maria Edgeworth, E. Nesbit and Rudyard Kipling are discussed alongside rare texts which have not been examined before. Chapters on gender, refugees, multiculturalism and heroes and villains reveal developments as well as continuities from earlier periods. The chapter on multiculturalism draws on unpublished interviews with authors including Adele Geras, the late Eva Ibbotson and Ann Jungman. The sometimes competing and conflicting representations in literature which has been influenced by the impact of the Enlightenment, the Empire, the Holocaust, cultural diversity and 9/11 demonstrate that there has been no teleological progression over the centuries from anti-Semitism to acceptance, or from ‘outsider’ to ‘insider’.
